> Reddit has fantastic devs, I can be 100% sure of that
Did you miss the part where it took them years to get a functional video player and it's still the worst one you'll likely ever use?

If reddit puts two juniors working on the video player and then has half the team working on making the stupid profile pictures for users that is not an issue of developer talent.
I have 0 doubt that there are really good devs at reddit, and I am also sure they are being made to work on monetisation shit and not on fixing mod tools, video player, bot detection and power user options which would make the app 1000% times better
For their Customers they will. Their customers are ad agencies.
What they will never make a good product is for its users because the goals of reddit the company and the userbase are opposed.
Maybe they do have fantastic devs, but it sure don't show in what users interact with.
